Question:
Which of the following ray diagrams is correct, when \( n_1 \) is the refractive index of the medium and \( n_2 \) is of the lens material (\( n_1>n_2 \))?
Which of the following ray diagrams is correct, when \( n_1 \) is the refractive index of the medium and \( n_2 \) is of the lens material (\( n_1>n_2 \))?
Show Hint
The bending of light depends on the refractive index of the materials: it bends towards the normal when entering a denser medium and away when entering a rarer medium.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
For \(n_1>n_2\), light rays bend away from the normal upon passing from a denser to a rarer medium. The first diagram (i) correctly demonstrates this refraction.
